Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The microwaves cause molecules in the food to vibrate more quickly, releasing heat. This heat disperses through the food. You can use your microwave oven to: • Defrost • Reheat • Cook 1. * Roller ring, to be placed in the center of the oven. Purpose: The roller ring supports the turntable. 2. * Turntable, to be placed on the roller ring with the center fitting on to the coupler. Purpose: The turntable serves as the main cooking surface. It can be easily removed for cleaning. Cooking Principle. 3. * High rack, * Low rack, to be placed on the turntable. Purpose: The metal racks can be used to cook two dishes at the same time. A small dish can be placed on the turntable and a second dish on the rack. The metal racks can be used in grill, convection, and combination cooking. 4. * Crusty plate, to be placed on the turntable. Purpose: The crusty plate is used to brown the bottom of food in the microwave or grill combination cooking modes and to keep pastry and pizza dough crispy. DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and turntable. If you need an accessory marked with a *, you can buy it from the Samsung Contact Center (1-800-726-7864) or on-line at: (www.samsungparts.com) 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected off cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly. 2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food. 3. Cooking times vary according power level setting you use and the properties of the food: • Quantity and density • Water content • Initial temperature (refrigerated or not) As the center of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even after you have taken the food out of the oven. You should use the standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet to ensure: • Even cooking of the food right to the center • The same temperature throughout the food English - 12 MC11H6033CT_AA_DE68-04173L-02_EN.indd 12 2015-12-08 �� 5:57:25 CHECKING IF YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY SETTING THE TIME The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to prevent them from becoming tough. Foods with a non-porous skin, such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting. Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns. Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly in a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns. The altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect the cooking time. When trying a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking. Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because not all harmful bacteria may be destroyed by the microwave heating process. Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same. Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can be heated to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury. If the oven is set to cook for more than 20 minutes, it will automatically adjust to 70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking. Stirring Open the microwave door and stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables occasionally while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside towards the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they can receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts towards the center of the turntable. Shielding Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Turning Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts. Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete the cooking process, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving. Adding moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook. Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner to let excess steam escape.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about 65-68 °F or a chilled food with a temperature of about 41-45 °F. BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 86-104 °F. BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with nipple on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 99 °F. Arranging and covering Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the center is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful. Power levels and stirring Some foods can be reheated using 90 % power while others should be reheated using 60 %, 50 %, or even 30 %. Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir, before, during, and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary. Heating and standing times When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions. REMARK: Baby food in particular needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power levels and times in the table below as guides for reheating. Reheating Liquids and Food Use the power levels and times in this table as guidelines for reheating. Food Drinks (Coffee, Tea and Water) Soup (Chilled) REHEATING LIQUIDS Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during, and after heating.

Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up. Poultry Chicken Pieces Whole Chicken Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid, and, if you are defrosting chicken, remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, shield the parts by wrapping small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Let fish, meat, and poultry stand to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below. Hint: Thin food defrosts better than thick food and smaller quantities need less time than larger quantities. To defrost frozen food with a temperature of about -5 to -4 °F, use the following table as a guide. Food Meat Minced Beef Pork Steaks Serving Size 0.6 lbs. 1.1 lbs. Power 20 % Time (min.)

It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more quickly. Preheat the grill with the grill-function for 2-3 minutes. Use the power levels and times in this table as guides for grilling. Use oven gloves when taking the food out of the microwave. Cookware for grilling: Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for grilling: Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches, and all kinds of toast with toppings. Important remark: Whenever you use the grill only mode, please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, you are instructed otherwise. MICROWAVE + GRILL This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. The combination mode is available with this model: 30 % + Grill. Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking: Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details. Important remark: Whenever you use the combination mode (microwave + grill), the food should be placed on the high rack, you are instructed otherwise. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart. The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides. Fresh Food Serving Size Power 1 step (min.) 2 step (min.)

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well-known method of cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air. The heating element and the fan position is at the back-wall, so that the hot air circulates. This mode is supported by the top heating element. Cookware for convection cooking: All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used. Food suitable for convection cooking: All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be cooked using this mode as well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry, and soufflés. MICROWAVE + CONVECTION This mode combines microwave energy with the hot air. It reduces cooking time while giving food a brown and crispy surface. 05 COOKING GUIDE Chicken Pieces Serving Size Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection: Cookware should be ovenproof (glass, ceramic, potter, or china without metal trim) and be able to let microwaves pass through, similar to the cookware described under Microwave + Grill. Food suitable for Microwave + Convection cooking: All kinds of meat and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and breads.

Cover with plastic lid. Heat for 30-40 seconds using 90 %, until butter is melted. Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call. TROUBLESHOOTING Check these solutions if you have a problem with your microwave: The display and/or the oven is not working. Make sure the plug is properly connected to a grounded outlet. If the wall outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on. Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in again. Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses. Plug a different appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance doesn’t work, call a qualified electrician to repair the wall outlet. Plug the oven into a different outlet. MELTING CRYSTALLIZED HONEY Put ¾ oz (20 g) crystallized honey into a small deep glass dish. Heat for 20-30 seconds using 30 %, until honey is melted.
